Smoking Mirror definately wouldn't be "human" - 20 point paths, and I guess I'd agree that the shapechangers should be out. Abysia and Jotunheim, well, I think we all know what pretender they'll take

but they are human, at least for that race. Hmm. I don't much like the point cost for those two though - should be at least 10 or 20 points higher, imo (Elder Skratti : 42 HPs, immune to cold, a magic path for 45 points, Abysia's Great Warlock 23 HPs, immune to fire, radiates heat, 2 starting magic paths, 2 dominion, 35 points).

man, everyone in abysia radiates heat. It would be death to not at least be immune.

anyway, yeah, dragons have human forms too, and they sure as heck aint human.

the skratti shouldn't be allowed. he's not human...
probably true for the warlock as well, though he doesn't really bother me, except for his starting dominin

humans are human. path cost 10, starting dominion 1, hps in the lower 20's max...

Not quite, unless you're saying that Pythium's Divine Emperor isn't human - starting dominion 3. 10 point paths should be the main determining factor, although the shapeshifters might be eliminated, and possibly the skratti simply because his point cost is screwed (plus, unlike Abysia, Jotuns can take the Rime Mariner for cold immunity).

ah that's right. shoot. ok keep the warlock. just dump the skratti, because he's just so good as an SC

Cainehill · #6 December 17th, 2005, 01:16 AM

But the carrion dragon, he's human.

Double post.

But hey - seems we have enough players, maybe we can get this puppy kick started Sunday or Monday?

Oh - how do you specify which Twin Spear is given? I keep getting the blood/astral one every time doing my tests.

And btw Ironhawk - great idea making it a couple of near-useless commanders - sounds like they'll be good for, mmm, Fever Fetish bait at most

where two scouts would be too awesome for nations that don't have regular / cheap scouts.

Another awesome deviant game plan - thanks Ironhawk, this and CoW have both caught the imagination for very different reasons.

(Not the main reason for that, but "All Wyrms All the Time" in the one is kinda neat, and all human pretenders is also a nice change of pace.)

Yeah I vote against the Skratti as well. For the same reason as the shapechangers, really. While the case could be made that the Skratti is just another citizen of the jotunhiem empire its still not fair to the other nations playing since they are restricted to only humans. If you are desperate for cold resistance there is always the Rime Mariner.
